Ronda Rousey posts statement after first MMA loss
Though boxing is firmly in her rearview mirror, Holm also struck a chord for its diehard fans with her win.
Ronda Rousey is “fine” after suffering a knockout defeat in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) ring over the weekend.
When a TMZ photographer asked Ali if she was surprised by the outcome of the November 14 fight, she said she wasn’t.
Sunday night Rousey reached out to her fans telling them that she was OK.
Mayweather has won all 49 of his professional fights. And how it wouldn’t work. I tried to rationalize the point that Rousey and Mayweather aren’t even in the same league. “Wow. Well, I was obviously wrong”. “I’m just staying strong now next to Ronda”. I just shut up at that point. I have so much I can learn from her. I’m so honored to be able to call her a team-mate and most importantly a friend. But how did we even get to this point?
“But after she was hospitalized following her loss, plans to have Rousey star in the ‘Road House” remake, due to start shooting in early 2016 may have been scaled back.
Holm was largely overlooked in the build-up to the bout as Rousey-mania reached a frenzied crescendo. So that created this mythology that Rousey was invincible.
UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm. That’s great news, because there’s a lot left for Rousey in the MMA world – perhaps now more than ever.
The boxer took to Instagram to thank everyone for their love and explain that she is doing well after she was hospitalized after her fight with Holly Holm.
The winning fighter threw a kick on Rousey’s head after the the latter stumbled during contact.
Ronda was knocked out in the second round and she started bleeding, which led many people to be concerned about her welfare, but the decorated athlete insists she is OK.
“I don’t think I need to say that”. This sent the former undefeated UFC fighter down on the canvas.
There was a few bad blood between the two before the fight. If you’re impressed by Holly’s talent, wait until you get a understanding of what type of character she possesses, it is truly world class.
